: IBM split 2 for 1 today (5/27).

: If I enter the split transaction with today's date
: (5/27), the Cost/Value graph is correct but the
: Portfolio Value report for today is wrong (value
: is half what it should be).

: If I enter the split with yesterday's date (5/26),
: the Cost/Value graph is wrong (spikes yesterday and
: returns to normal today) but the Portfolio Value
: report for today (5/27) is correct.

: Am I correct to assume the date of a split transaction
: should be the effective date of the split (so the
: graph is correct and the report is wrong)?

More info: The Portfolio Value report is correct
when I turn on View|Split Adjusted, but is wrong
without split-adjustment.

The yeilds shown at the top of the graph (using
View|Yeilds) appear to be wrong for today (5/27)
regardless of whether I turn split-adjustment
on or off. The yeilds for a graph ending either
yesterday (5/26) or tomorrow (5/29) are
consistent, but those shown for today are much
lower,
